ive spoken to quiet a few people and those who have actually heard of this type of clutch say that its basically just a racing clutch and not really streatable? :S But im trying to find out some more info regarding these types of clutches as ive never heard of them either. Ive decided to go with a 6puk sprung centre clutch which'll hold a bit under 900 torque @ the crank which should be good for my setup. Cheers anyway Michael :-)

i'm using a 9puck cermaic full disc sprung centre and it is great, perfect for street, and can handle high hp.. with 75% more clamp than stock..

it even chirps in 3rd.and i got no power yet..they said it basically the best clutch i can get for street use, and still be able to drive it.. heeh iif you check my build thread you will see pictures..

I had a five puck sprung centre in the Rotary. When combined with a lightened flywheel it was more of an on/off switch than a clutch. Took a lot of getting used to. Suited that car though- it was pretty extreme.
